A system and method for time division multiplexing using different radio access technologies is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a first communication node includes: identifying a time division multiplex pattern that associates a plurality of time domain resources with: one of an uplink signal and a downlink signal, and one of at least two radio access technologies; receiving the uplink signal using at least one first associated time domain resource; and transmitting the downlink signal using at least one second associated time domain resource, wherein the plurality of time domain resources are sequential, and wherein at least one first and second associated time domain resources are associated with different radio access technologies.
